The results for a part of the application assessment. This accelerated entry course has been developed as part of Cardiff University’s commitment to widen access to Medicine. Small numbers of selected students from the feeder streams take additional modules during their first degree which make them eligible to apply to be accepted onto the 4 year course. Selected students must graduate with a first or upper second class degree. Having demonstrated appropriate knowledge and skills to enter the healthcare profession, you will pursue a course identical to years 2 to 5 of the five year MBBCh course. The programme initially focuses on building a platform for integrated clinical sciences. This is delivered in the classroom, practical classes, lectures and the virtual learning environment. You learn to apply your knowledge in the clinical environment, both in hospital and community settings. The programme emphasises the importance of learning science in the clinical context, and the central place of the patient in a doctor’s work. We firmly believe that patients are at the heart of medical education and as such you will be introduced to patients from the first year. You will learn about common medical conditions from real patients, as well as their doctors, in authentic and impressively equipped facilities. Patient safety, science knowledge, scholarship, and the service role of doctors are unifying themes throughout. As you progress through the programme you will find there is increasing emphasis on the acquisition of clinical skills, initially in a simulated environment progressing to extended clinical placements with increasing responsibility in hospital and community settings throughout Wales. Throughout the course, you are expected to display the professional attributes of a doctor in training. By the time you graduate, you will have demonstrated that care of patients is your first concern. With full engagement in the course, you will be able to apply knowledge and skills in a competent and ethical manner, and use your ability to provide leadership and to analyse complex and uncertain situations. You will have achieved all the outcomes and clinical competencies required by the General Medical Council set out in ‘Tomorrow’s Doctors 2009’. The Medicine programme is recognised as a Primary Medical Qualification under the Medical Act, and graduates of the programme may apply for provisional registration with the General Medical Council. Distinctive features You will benefit from: •a cutting-edge spiral curriculum based on evidence gathered from across the world; •teaching from internationally-renowned researchers and clinicians; •excellent teaching facilities; •having the whole of Wales as your classroom, meaning you get a breadth of clinical experience from small, rural GP practices and small cottage hospitals to fast-paced city A&E departments and complex surgical specialties; •a smooth transfer into the first year of your career as a doctor.

We do not accept Critical Thinking, General Studies, Citizenship Studies, or other similar equivalent subjects. We do not accept resits for this programme. To be eligible for this programme, you must meet all of the following criteria: - 2:1 for one of these recognised feeder streams or be a graduate of dentistry: BSc (Hons) Medical Pharmacology degree, School of Medicine, Cardiff University (B210) BSc (Hons) Biomedical Sciences degree, School of Biosciences, Cardiff University (BC97) BMedSci Degree in Medical Sciences from Bangor University (B100) BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences Degree, from the University of South Wales (B901) - have achieved BBB/ABC at A-level or equivalent including Biology and Chemistry - have achieved the GCSE requirements specified above - have taken the GAMSAT in the calendar year in which you are applying. We don’t have a minimum threshold score; however, we may use UCAT/GAMSAT scores in our application assessment procedure. You must also show you have an awareness of the healthcare system in the UK and the nature of the medical training in your personal statement. If you’d like to progress from one of the feeder streams to the four year graduate entry medicine programme (A101/A102), you will be subject to our admissions criteria in the year you start your officiated feeder course and not the year of entry to the four-year graduate entry medicine programme. Dental graduates Dental graduates must have completed further postgraduate training and obtained appropriate professional qualifications, as well as meeting the above criteria. Please submit a full CV (curriculum vitae) to the Admissions Office when you apply. Scoring your application We will assess your application and give you a score based on your best nine GCSEs/Level 2 qualifications. Post A-level/Level 3 applicants will receive additional points for qualifications achieved. Our interview process We won’t make an offer without an interview. All applicants must meet the minimum requirements at Level 2 (typically GCSE) and Level 3 (typically A-level) in order to be eligible for consideration for interview. If you meet the minimum entry requirements your application will be given a numerical score. Eligible applicants will be ranked according to this score and the top ranking applicants will be invited to interview. Multiple mini interviews We use the multiple mini interview (MMI) format, which is a series of short, carefully timed interview stations that you will rotate around in turn. The MMIs help us to determine if you: - can think on your feet - have thought about some of the issues that are important to the profession - can critically appraise information - can communicate ideas effectively. They also focus on exploring the personal qualities and attributes that are important to your future career development. These interviews allow us to meet you in person and assess information that isn’t always readily forthcoming in the application process—they aren’t intended to test the amount of prior knowledge you have about the subject or the profession, though you must show you have an awareness of the healthcare system in the UK and the nature of the medical training in your personal statement. ENROLMENT CONDITIONS Before you start your course, you will also need to undergo a health check—including screening for blood-borne viruses and tuberculosis—by our Occupational Health Service. If you are non-immune to Hepatitis B, you will need to complete a full immunisation programme before taking part in clinical procedures. Having a blood-borne virus or other infectious diseases won’t prevent you from completing this course and obtaining General Medical Council registration, but some specialities won’t be open to you during training or in your career. If you have a health issue that you think might have an impact on your ability to study or practise, please contact us before submitting an application.
